The fact that teams like the Raptors can even imagine claiming a playoff spot should embarass David Stern. Time for a hard cap, spread the talent around so there aren't 5-6 dominant teams and a bunch of teams hoping to hit .400 to make the playoffs.

No need for hard cap. I like this way, also the West Conference is very hard. The East is just a joke. Not Stern fault the Eastern Conference is a joke.
